Hello, friend!

The grocery store where I get fresh produce very unexpectedly carries Bird's custard powder (I'm in the US) so I *technically* don't have to go to World Market today. But...

Chessie got an early Christmas present from @auggiethebeck.bsky.social's supplier!

I would like to be afflicted with poets, please. But human ones only, no AI slop.

If you see this, repost with your model of positive masculinity.

So be good for Goodness Sake... #Krampusnacht #Krampus

People love telling us to “just ask for help,” but the moment we do, we get told we’re dramatic, demanding, or difficult. Or worse, ungrateful. And then they wonder why we shut down...

The witch refuses winter as a sadness. Each season sings it own sorrows. Frost-brittle field still hold their magics. The sky is still a drama of nephomantic omens. There is no lack of thresholds. I shall save my tears for the wounding of the land. – #EmilyCBanting, 1982 #WitchSky

i care of you . Ok ? OK ❤️

I have discovered a pile of Nigel droppings under my bed tonight.

Chessie was a good girl at the vet (while gabbing the pentin) and is now sleeping it off on her heating pad with a full dish of fishy wet food beside her. 😸

SHITMAS TIME IS HERE: I've updated my epic, three-hour playlist of the worst holiday music known to humanity. You can find Apple Music and Spotify links to it, plus all my holiday merch and greeting cards, at shitm.as

Universal Studios is INSANE. A corndog coated in cheddar cheese sauce and Captain Crunch cereal. Served with a Ranch-adjacent dipping sauce. (from YT, so no I have not tasted but yes, I would be tempted to try)

Trying to figure out what to make for Christmas dinner this year. Nontraditional, but something that takes a bit more time & care than usual. Homemade quesabirria maybe? 🤔

Maybe it's making things worse, but at least it's trying. #mentalhealth #anxiety

Too smol to function 🐾

I informed Chessie we're going to the v-e-t today for her first arthritis injection. She says sorry, no one's home, just the void. #CatsOfBluesky #Cat

Four Christmas movies to know me by: Santa Claus The Movie (1985) Smoky Mountain Christmas (1986) The Night They Saved Christmas (1984) The Life And Adventures Of Santa Claus (1985)

Good to see Betty again & our tongues are busy.

A weighty chapbook. A massive pamphlet. Agonies.

I'd like to view the reeling years through unastonished eyes, and dip my finger-tips in tears, and give my smiles for sighs

Winter coat goals. We are definitely a little jealous of how snug this Highland cow is looking.

What song?

@olliewilliams.bsky.social You knowing dis guy?

It's interesting, I (mostly) stopped posting my word game scores months ago but they still show up high on my most-used words.

I listen to a lot of long-form history content on YT, and it's INSANE how my recommendations have been flooded this year with garbage AI slop. 😭 I know it's happening across many topics, but all this "boring history to make you sleep" makes me want to cry. That's my cozy topic!

My intern just asked if I “grew up without internet.” No, I grew up with dial-up, which is worse.

Constant reader, prepare yourself: there is every chance the girl will not wake from that nightmare of a long-forgotten house that hates.

My tape recorder broke yesterday and it chewed up my ultravox tape so you will have to do me a new one as it is completely ruined.

GANDALF: Can you see anything? FRODO: There's nothing…Wait. There are markings. It's some form of Elvish. I can't read it. GANDALF: There are few who can. The language is that of Mordor, which I will not utter here. In the common tongue it says, "Light the lamp, not the rat."
